Maria, it's best that I stay away from opening tournament threads given the drama that followed.

I've another nice saying for what happened - a storm in the teacup, is it correct in English?
And if you want my opinion I agree with Melanie and Metis - it's a nice clear title. I know some people here prefer looooooong thread titles, I actually prefer shorter thread titles so...
Edit: Metis, see what happens when you stay away just for a day. That's why I can't open any tournament threads, I may not be able to update it every day.

I'm a rather confrontational sort of person because I prefer to say things directly. If there's one thing I really dispise, it's people staying quiet to avoid confrontation only to run off to some place else to have a good old gossip, moan & bitch session about that person behind his/her back.

Not that you're doing all that but I do see that you've taken this up in another thread and of course, Mikey, needs to add fuel to the fire. If you were taken aback by my reaction, why go to somebody else? We're not 5-year olds who need to run to our daddy. We should be able to talk about disagreements.

Don't mind me... You keep doing your adorable thing in here and I'll be the grumpy one.
You dont have to justify your sense of humor at all. I know that you were only joking.
My bark is louder than my bite (do you say that in English?).
Please don't stay away from here because of me. Put me on ignore or something.

is it a drama...?why
my drama i dont get all in english

I SAID, no time for to speak today..
I said yesterday night my thought to u here and i dont talk bad or insulting u in another thread, if i share my thought with mike coz he is my best friend ,in his casa i dont need to ask the permess to anyone.blame me for his reaction
I said that because i'm in no in a mood i 'd prefer to stay whrere my words or my mood cant offender no1.it doesnt mean i abbandon the thread but only i wont this question...now

Belgium has a habit of sending weird stuff because we usually don't stand a chance in that voting system anyway.
I can't remember what we sent last year other than that it was utter crap (and not in a good way).
Usually we take turns in picking songs. Last year, Flanders got to pick a song , this year, it's Wallonia's turn (and they usually select slightly better songs in all honesty).

For once someone labels the thread with the tournament name and the year so that we don't confuse it with threads from previous years.

Do I detect sarcasm there.

Andreea...hmm...not easy to translate that sort of stuff because I'm thinking in Dutch and those are not terms I'm familiar with in English.. I'll give it a go:Précompte...voorheffing in Dutch. (bedrijfsvoorheffing) I'm not sure what the correct word for it is in English but in this case, it's the tax on labour and it's deducted from the wages beforehand (hence the "pré"). Companies have to transfer the money to the government.
Simplified, it means that the government tries to encourage companies to transfer that "précompte" well in advance by letting them to pay well in advance on regular intervals, giving them a tax deduction as a result.

So, you can either pay with regular intervals well in advance (every quarter of the year) or you pay it at the end of the term but you'll have to pay more.
